Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the EU Commission announced on Sunday the European Union is shutting down the EU airspace for Russian-owned, Russian registered or Russian-controlled aircraft.
The order includes private jets of the Russian oligarchs.
The EU is also banning state-owned Russia Today and Sputnik from broadcasting in the European Union.
Only Western state-owned media will be allowed.
Ursula von der Leyen also announced that the EU is working on more tools to ban toxic and harmful disinformation in Europe.
Does anyone beleive this will end when the war is over?
Third, we will target the other aggressor in this war, Lukashenko’s regime, with a new package of sanctions, hitting their most important sectors.
